No pictures yet other than those on my phone (will probably add more later)

This is me with the map of my first leg (Leg#5) which was to be my longest of the race.  6.1miles 

 waiting for nicole to come in, so i could start my leg

 there were so many stop lights to wait at, and even a TRAIN!  omg!  two of them, actually.
this was such a bummer.

 this was us waiting for tabitha at the top of the BIG hill she had on her first leg.
i passed out chocolate/candy to those that wanted it.  ;)

 after our 6th runner (tabitha) came in, we were at the major exchange and met up with the other members of our team, who were in van 2.

 since van 2 was doing their 6 legs, we had a break.  we headed down to oceanside, which was the location of the next major (virtual) exchange.
lisa's aunt owns a beach house right by the water, which was also part of the path for leg #13!

 the house is on the left, the water on the right, and the path for leg #13 was where i was standing

 we walked 0.6 mi to get some food at a local diner.  i had gyros!
here we are walking back.  look at the beautiful ocean and beach ahead of us.

 i was wearing my running skirt in this pic...i wasn't in a swimsuit or anything...
i was trying to capture exactly how close we were to the beach.
i fell asleep outside for a short while.  =)

 the temporary ragnar tattoo on the back of my leg.

watching sara, our first runner, run by for leg #13

 getting ready for leg #2, which was around 8pm at night.
didn't expect too much difficulty, since it was only 3.8mi.
[then i found out there was a hill at mile 2.  bleah.]

 kris and i got sprayed with the reflective spray!
cool!
